Offering a rare combination of productive irrigated hay ground, forested acreage, wildlife habitat, and breathtaking mountain views, the ranch provides exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently close to area amenities. The ranch is highlighted by a custom 7,250 square foot residence completed in 2022 and thoughtfully positioned to capture sweeping views of the property and surrounding mountain ranges. Features include vaulted ceilings, custom beams and woodwork, oak flooring, granite countertops, expansive windows, wraparound deck, two wood-burning fireplaces, upper and lower-level bar areas, walkout basement, dual laundry areas, and an oversized six-car garage. Additional improvements include a 3,584 square foot updated ranch manager's home, a charming log hunting cabin with loft, full kitchen, two bathrooms, and wood stove, plus a remodeled guest home near the ranch entrance. The property also features a substantial 100' x 60' equipment and hay barn along with additional shop and storage facilities. Protected in part by a conservation easement, the ranch retains a valuable additional building envelope situated in a prime location with spectacular 360-degree views. Frequent elk and abundant wildlife, productive agricultural resources, multiple residences, and unparalleled scenery make Running Elk Ranch one of the premier offerings in the Bitterroot Valley.
